Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A loud, hollow, echoing sound during much of the ventilatory cycle is indicative of bronchial breath sounds, typically heard over larger airways such as the trachea and mainstem bronchi. Decreased breath sounds would be indicative of decreased or absent air movement in a particular area of the lungs, vesicular breath sounds are softer and heard over smaller airways and the periphery of the lungs, and wheezing is a high-pitched, musical sound heard during expiration in individuals with narrowed airways.
